    I’d like to thank Larry Page and Jimmy Wales for making this possible. And of course, cleek himself, for assembling this.

    The connections were a fascinating twist. They added complexity, but they also acted as a solving aid. Nice work!

    i really wanted the list to span more than just classic rock, but it was the only way i could come up with a nice 20-link chain, using bands and songs people are likely to know.

    but i’ll try it again someday.
